| From: CINDIEC Apr-14, 2003 Bodies Found -Fetus, Adult Discovered Near Richmond Marina Modesto police were flown in to this Richmond crime scene where two bodies— one of a male fetus and one of an unidentified adult —washed ashore in the past two days. A body washed ashore today in Richmond after a full-term male fetus was found in the same area over the weekend. Now the Modesto Police, who are investigating the Laci Peterson disappearance, are being flown to the scene. Richmond is about 75 miles away from Modesto, Calif., where Laci Peterson, 27, was about 7 ˝ months pregnant when she disappeared last Christmas Eve. Chief Norman Lapera, East Bay Regional Park Police: "What we have is a pretty badly decomposed body that appears to have been in the water for quite some time." That body was discovered less than 18 hours after the discovery of another body — a baby that washed ashore. Sgt. Enos Johnson, Richmond Police Dept.: "It was a full term, what I understand a full term fetus, and it was found on the shoreline approximately a mile or a mile and a quarter from here along the Richmond shoreline just across the bay here. Question: "What condition was the fetus in?" Sgt. Enos Johnson, Richmond Police Dept.: "The body was badly decomposed. They were, through an autopsy determined it was a boy, and also at this time they don't know what race the baby was." East Bay Regional Park Police Chief Norman Lapera wouldn't get into any details about the adult body, its gender or condition except to say there was enough reason to contact Modesto Police because of the Laci Peterson case. Chief Norman Lapera, East Bay Regional Park Police: "Anything regarding the gender right now would be conjecture, and we would wait until the coroner gets here for some person to make that determination. I think you can infer by the fact that we've called the Modesto Police Department that we have not eliminated the fact that it may be a female victim." Laci Peterson disappeared from her Modesto home Christmas Eve. Her husband, Scott, who has not been named a suspect in her disappearance nor been ruled out, told police he was fishing from the Berkeley marina at the time his wife disappeared. East Bay regional park police waited to bring in Modesto investigators by helicopter instead of processing the crime scene as they would under normal circumstances. Chief Norman Lapera, East Bay Regional Park Police: "We are processing the scene right now as we normally would where we'd call the coroner in, as a courtesy to Modesto police department we're waiting. As I mentioned before the tide is on the way out, so there's no danger that the any kind of evidence will be damaged by the water coming in." Local police said it was still too early to tell the gender of the adult corpse, but said that reporters could infer that it was female, because the Modesto police had been notified. Police have also contacted the man who sold Peterson the boat he said he used for fishing on the day his wife disappeared. Investigators asked the seller to look over the boat to see if anything was different about it. The seller said that he saw traces of cement on the boat that were not there when he turned it over to Peterson. Scott Peterson has acknowledged he did have an affair before Laci disappeared, but maintains he did not hurt his wife. Laci was due to give birth Feb. 10 to a son she had already named Conner. For a few weeks after the due date, police continued to hope that someone would come forward with information that could lead to her whereabouts. There is $50,000 reward for information leading to Laci's location and recovery. Previously, a $500,000 reward was offered for information leading to her safe return. ************** POSTER'S RESPONSES From: Airplane (AIRPLAIN) Apr-14, 2003 Cindie, he had a long time to do whatever he did. From 8:30 PM on the 23rd until about 5:00 PM on the 24th is 20 hours and 30 minutes. That's almost a whole calendar day. He said he got back from fishing about 4:00 PM on the 24th, showered, changed clothes, found the pup in the backyard still wearing his leash, ran around the neighborhood a little bit, and called Laci's parents. I've always figured that the reason he didn't get going until about 9-9:30 the morning of the 24th is because he had to have a two or three hour nap. Scott's young and strong and with the adrenalin pumping, he could have accomplished all of that in that amount of time......and had time left over for a sturdy power nap.
